Gorillaz: Phase Four - Searching for the Elixer

It's not yet confirmed there will be a forth 'Rillaz record, but I'm sure there will be, Damon Albarn has always enlisted surprising, inspired guests that we'd never guess he'd work with in the future back in the 90s when he was fronting Blur.

We still haven't got the Beach Sides, the Plastic Beach outtakes record (hopefully The Horrors' cut makes the grade), but here's hoping that will come out and then we'll get phase four, which I think they should call Searching for the Elixer, even if the album…

Yeesh…. not going to go through with this…

I'm sure I probably got this idea from RateYourMusic as there are a chockful of crazy lists goin' down. Or maybe that was bad albums by great artists? So I swipe the idea, put in some actual comments (as that's what's missing from a lot of these type of journal posts), and take it to the bank, right? I don't what I'm talking about, I just feel the need for an intro to ease, you, kind curious reader into the list of horsecrap moments from bands (who I consider at least) to be superbly magical masters of sound creation in…

Most misleading band names ever - Aight, here's a list I made fairly shortly after doing the 'annoying band names' list. But life got busy and yada yada, and this list sat in notepad form for a while (10 months); anyways, it ain't irrelevant, so I'll post it now… I wouldn't have remembered it if my good friend Keiroshin hadn't demanded (hmm, makes him sound forceful, let's go with requested) that I get back to doing my journal entries/pointless rantings/stolen quizes. So this isn't a new one, new material will come…. I have some idea(r)s, so hooray and all…

Okay, that was just to get attention. I did like the final song in the movie Babel, but the rest didn’t grab me at all (save for the helicopter taking off), so I was baffled when it one best score (it did win, right?). So here's some films with great music. When I think of the film I think of the movie and vice versa. If you have some of your own, name 'em off (Life Equatic, Pulp Fiction, Tenenbaums?)

2001: A Space Odyssey - Kind of obvious. Best sci-fi of all-time, of course. Also, even though the Dark Side…

I may be forgetting some, but the following band names are so bad that Panic! At the Disco suddenly seems like the title of a buried Hitchcock picture.

1. Anal C*** - Nothing needs to be said really. Their music is just as bad though. Really.
2. Pissed Jeans - I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard these guys’ music or if I ever will because I’ll never get passed their horrid name.
3. Shit Disco - When I was young I thought this was the only kind of disco. Band name still sucks, though.
4. Test Icicles - Oh,…

I hate not knowing what to do when not working…

Take your top 20 artists. For each of these artists, collect the top 5 similar artists. The resulting number of unique artists is your eclectic score. If the score is small (extreme = 5) your musical preferences are very limited, and if it is large (extreme = 100), then you have an eclectic musical preference. You can compute your own score at http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/eclectic.php

My eclectic score is currently

73/100

That last one is the only band I haven't heard of on this dude's top twenty, which is flawless by the way (well, I guess I would think so, as he's got the closest taste to me according to last.fm).
